I moved to staten island 4 years ago and realized I had made a decision that if I was going to stay then I wanted to be more sustainable due to how expensive everything is. I now practice aquaponics and container gardening and front yard gardening with all edible plants. I have done a complete life change and the benefits are truly amazing I would never go back to standard life. And with my wife being a vegetarian she is enjoying it as much as I am. And a happy wife is a happy life.
